The unofficial start of the summer....

Memorial Day weekend is the real kick off of Summer.  (At least in NJ)  I cannot remember a Memorial Day weekend when I did not  go down the shore for the weekend.  It was all about who was going and when they were leaving and how much traffic you might hit on the way down.  But it didn't matter.  Once you arrived...all was good.  It's always colder in the evenings and we never seemed prepared for the cold.  Someone ALWAYS got sunburned pretty bad and many, many cocktails were always part of the weekend.  Most of those weekends were spent with my sisters and we made some serious memories at the Jersey Shore.  Both of them met their husbands down the shore as a matter of fact!

It hit me today...I don't need to get ready...we are already here!  We will be preparing for the crowds this weekend. Parking will be more difficult but I just love it!  Summer is just such a great time.  We have some fun plans for the long weekend.

Friday morning the band Train is playing a free show walking distance from our house!  Since the boys LOVE Train we are going to try our hardest to get in to see them.  Wish us luck.  To see their faces when the band sings their favorite songs....no words.  It will be beyond cute to see their reaction.

We are planning to go to a Memorial Day Parade to honor those who gave their lives so we could live the wonderful life we live now.The rest of the weekend will be filled with beach, BBQ's, family, friends and fun.  I am hoping the weather cooperates. 

It will be our first Summer with The Neptunes....
We had a little preview of Summe weather last weekend...
